MedAccessCE™ was founded by Jacqueline S. Marinac, PharmD, CCRC — a clinician-educator-researcher and Harvard Macy Scholar with over 30 years of experience building practical tools that enable healthcare professionals to overcome medication access barriers at the point of care.
Patients first. Always.
MedAccessCE™ is independently authored and owned by Jacqueline S. Marinac, PharmD, CCRC. There is no ownership relationship, licensing agreement, or revenue agreement with any health plan, pharmacy benefit manager, drug manufacturer, distributor, or electronic health record vendor.
My only stake is that treating prescribers and care teams have what they need to navigate barriers and help their patients. That's it. That's the mission.
What MedAccessCE™ is — and isn't
Founder, MedAccessCE™ · Harvard Macy Scholar · Clinician-Educator
Dr. Marinac is a pharmacist, educator, and researcher with over 30 years of experience in medical school education, non-profit administration, continuing education, and the pharmaceutical industry. She has spent her career at the intersection of medication access, clinical practice, and professional education — developing curriculum that is practical, evidence-based, and built to be used at the point of care.
As a Harvard Macy Scholar and sole proprietor of MedAccessCE™, she brings the rigor of academic medicine and the practicality of frontline clinical experience to every course and resource she develops. MedAccessCE™ is her answer to a gap she has seen throughout her career: clinicians who understand the problem but lack the tools to overcome it.
I've sat with colleagues who went into medicine to take care of patients. Smart people. Dedicated people. People who stayed up at night worried about their patients' outcomes. And I watched them leave. Not because they stopped caring. Because they couldn't practice medicine anymore. They spent more time fighting insurance companies than treating patients.
I've seen brilliant prescribers spend 2+ hours a day navigating prior authorizations, drug shortages, pharmacy deserts, and coverage gaps. I've watched them abandon evidence-based treatment because it was easier than fighting the system. I've seen patients not get the medication they needed — not because it wasn't medically appropriate, but because vertical integration and PBM gatekeeping made access impossible.
This isn't healthcare. This is bureaucracy pretending to be healthcare.
My response
I couldn't fix the system overnight. But I could give clinicians the tools to beat it. MedAccessCE™ is built on a simple principle: your patients deserve the medication that's right for them. Not the cheapest. Not the most expensive. The right one — evidence-based, appropriate, and accessible.
Medication access barriers are one of the most common reasons patient care gets delayed, disrupted, or abandoned. MedAccessCE™ exists to give clinicians the knowledge, tools, and language to fight back — with practical enablement built around real clinical workflows, ready to use today.
Patients first. Always.
Every course, module, and resource is developed directly by a PharmD educator with 30+ years of frontline experience — not outsourced, not templated.
Smart phrases, templates, and scripts are designed to be used immediately inside actual clinical workflows — not just read and filed away.
The Clinical Operations subscription is updated twice a year so clinicians are never working from outdated information in a fast-moving policy environment.
Every resource is built with one goal: better outcomes for patients who face barriers to the medications they need.
Both tracks of Medication Access in America: Navigating the System are available on Thinkific for individual enrollment. Courses are offered for professional development. Note: these courses provide educational contact hours, not accredited CE Credit. Organizational licensing is available through the Clinical Operations Package.
Jacqueline delivers live and virtual sessions on prior authorization, appeals workflows, step therapy overrides, and building practice-wide PA operations. Sessions are template-driven — attendees leave with copy-paste-ready materials, not just concepts.
